Subject: [gcc_release] Patch for FSF TZ=UTC0 recommendation

The Free Software Foundation maintainers document at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_17.html mentions that all diff files should be
created in Universal Coordinated Time, so that "patch -z" will work properly.
By extension this would require that the actual distribution tarball be created
in UTC too.

>From what I was able to deduce, the box that post-2.8.x releases and snapshots
are created from is currently set for TZ=PST8PDT.

I believe this small patch to the gcc_release script will implement this FSF
suggestion.

Needless to say, since I have no access to the snapshot/release box, this has
not been properly tested.
